Here's what some past entrants have said about our contest:
"I attribute my first sale to this contest." - Laura Abbot
"I had no idea when I entered the MARA Contest how it would change my
life. Not only did I win the contemporary catagory and the best
overall, but the judging editor requested the entire manuscript and I
went on to become a published author! I can't recommend this contest
enough." -Donna Delaney
